<br>
<span>By W. Fox</span>
<br>Load testing it (215 lbs!) - [...]<br /><br />WOW.  I bought a cheetah mount that only tilts for my 52" SAMSUNG LCD TV.  But the configuration of my living room/kitchen area had me thinking I'd rather go with an articulating wall mount, so I can turn it if I'm cooking or if I have people over on the sectional sofa I can turn it that (the opposite) way.  So I bought this puppy (I kept the other tilting-only mount for my bedroom LCD TV which I haven't purchased yet).  After taxes and S&H, it came out to $106.  A similar product at BestBuy and hhgregg costs well over $300 (bestbuy has some that articulate and tilt that are up to $750!!!)<br /><br />I'm a civil engineer,  I work on designing things as a career.  When I opened the box and saw the structural bulk of this thing, I was very impressed.  I knew my brand new TV would be secure hanging from this thing.  It came with a BUNCH of extra hardware in case you needed to use it (I ended up using the screws they supplied for the connection to the TV, since mine were too short).  I also used their spacers to help ensure full thread engagement.<br /><br />I wanted to install the TV on the wall and run the cables through the wall, so I had a lot of work cut out for me.  Also, I live on a first floor condo unit, so my studs were in groups of 3 and only 12" apart.  So I had to cut a whole in the drywall and add another adjacent stud to it.  The lag screws they supplied are more than efficient.  Just be sure to have the right sized screwdriver head to avoid stripping the heads.<br /><br />Once I got the TV up I load tested it.  I brought it out about 3/4 the total extension distance and first pulled down on it a bit.  Then I slowly transferred all my weight to the mount.  I heard a little bit of stress in the wood, but after all 215lbs of me was hanging from it, I knew that my 66 lb tv would be just fine.  It's only upon writing this review that I see it's rated for 180 lbs. so it's a good thing that I didn't see that before load-testing it.  even though, being an engineer and all) I know things are derated all the time.  The instructions were a little fuzzy, but it's still pretty easy to not screw up.</p>

<br>
<span>By P. Lopresto</span>
<br>I recently purchased a new 42" plasma TV for my living room: the Panasonic TC-P42X1.  I bought the TV with the intention of hanging it above my fire place, but was shocked to find out that an articulating mount at Best Buy was $300!  So I did what any sane, sensible American would do; I told Best Buy where to stick it and went to browse on Amazon.<br /><br />After some consideration and reading all of the reviews for various mounts, I decided to go with this Cheetah two-arm articulating mount.  Not only was the price less than half of the Best Buy mount, but I also liked the idea of two arms holding my brand new TV.<br /><br />So I got the mount and found that it was really easy to install.  I don't see what all the fuss is about with the directions being "difficult".  I think it helps if you have a technical mind (I'm an electrical engineer) because I had no problems with the directions at all.  There are no assembly pictures in the directions, so if you are a visual learner, that might be why it's difficult.<br /><br />Now, on to the mount.  It's of very, very, very solid construction.  It is made completely out of a steel frame and steel hardware.  I had no trouble hanging the mount on my wall studs (and yes this mount is made specifically for 16" spacing, but can go up to about 18").  I would recommend picking up some new lag bolt hardware to hang the mount on the wall, though.  I got some 1/4" lag bolts with lock washers from Lowe's pretty cheap.  I would also suggest getting a second pair of hands to help you mount this beast. It is quite heavy.<br /><br />I would also recommend tightening all of the hardware that comes pre-assembled on the mount BEFORE YOU HANG THE MOUNT.  I say this because I did not do this and I noticed that one of the bolts that holds the arm was on its way to falling off after I had the mount on the wall and the TV hung.  And it's rather difficult to get on those bolts and give them a good torque-ing.<br /><br />But the action of the mount is fairly smooth.  It is a little difficult to move the TV where you want it, but once it's there, I have no worries about it falling down.  And the range of motion is superb for my use.  I'm able to swing the TV screen approx. 60-70 degrees in either direction.<br /><br />Now my one complaint about the mount (and the reason behind the 4.5 of 5 stars) is the way the TV sits on the mount.  The mount comes with two brackets that attach to your TV and then the TV hangs on the mount via these brackets.  The only thing that holds the brackets to the mount is the weight of the TV and a metal bar that runs along the bottom of the brackets to keep the TV from tilting off.  This would be okay if I wasn't moving the TV constantly, but I find that with this setup, whenever I push my TV back flat against the wall it always moves a little bit on the mount.  It's a little unnerving and a little annoying too since I like the TV to be in the center of the fireplace.<br /><br />Other than that, the mount is very solid and I would certainly buy one again if I needed to get an articulating mount.</p>

<br>
<span>By Gadabout</span>
<br>Easily Holds my 60" plasma. Tilts and swivels just like it supposed too. Took me about 45 minutes to get the mount up and on the wall (by myself) and another 10 minutes later we hung the TV. Some have mentioned in previous reviews that it doesn't move very easily. This can be adjusted by slightly loosening one of the ny-lock nuts on the swivel points. I wanted mine to be a little stiff, but not quite as stiff as it came. The adjustment was easy.<br /><br />Some folks said that it didn't swivel to one side as far as they wanted. This is dependent on the size of the TV (how far it extends on the side of the mounts). A smaller TV will get more swivel before it contacts the wall, than my 60" does. I get about 20 degrees of swivel at full extension.<br /><br />Some of the folks complained about the instructions. I didn't see any issue with them, but I only checked them to see what the plastic spacers were used for (rounded back TV's - most won't need them.) For those that didn't like the instructions, let me briefly describe the mount process. It should be noted that I went out and bought my own mounting hardware (lag bolts, 8mm hex head bolts, washers and lock washers) Also, if your studs are more than 18" apart the mount won't work for you.<br /><br />- Find the stud locations with a good stud finder (I use a Zircon Stud Sensor e50 Electronic Stud Finder ).<br /><br />- Make your measurements for how far up on the wall you want the top of the mount and mark location.<br /><br />- Take a 2 foot level to your height mark and scribe a level line across where the studs are located.<br /><br />- Find the center of the stud.<br />-- I use a blunt tip, finishing nail tap holes in the wall till you find the edges.<br />-- The blunt tip is so it doesn't damage water or electrical lines.<br />-- Once you find one edge, the other edge will be about 1.5" the other side of it.<br /><br />- Mark the center of your two edge marks on the scribed level line. This is where you will drill your pilot holes.<br /><br />- Take your level and scribe a vertical level line down from each  of the above locations.<br /><br />- Determine the correct size bit to use for the lag screw you are using.<br />-- I used 3/8" x 2.5" lag screws and used 7/32" drill bit for pilot holes.<br /><br />- Drill the top 2 pilot holes (at least 1/2" shorter than the lag screw length).<br /><br />- Mount the rack to the wall with the top 2 lag screws. (Leave it just a bit loose)<br /><br />- Check the level and tighten the screws.<br /><br />- You should see the vertical lines in the holes for the lag screws, drill the 2nd set of pilot holes at those locations and put in the bottom lag screws.<br /><br />- Extend the mount to its full out position.<br /><br />- Adjust the tension on any of the ny-lock nuts at pivot points.<br /><br />- On the face where the TV mounts there are 5 bolts. Put a level on the plate that holds the TV. Loosen those bolts and adjust for level if necessary.<br /><br />- Install the tilt lock screws to TV hanging brackets.<br /><br />- Mount the hanging brackets on the TV , with lock washers(see TV user guide for mounting screw diameter and depth).<br />-- Mine were 8mm and needed a mounting depth of 10mm - 16mm (.39" - .63") . Adjust depth with washers if needed.<br /><br />- Use the plastic spacers of you have a rounded back TV.<br /><br />- Hang the TV, move left or right to center on wall mount.<br /><br />- Tighten screws on bottom of TV hanging brackets to lock into place and prevent it from coming off.<br /><br />It looks great on the wall and the 5" off set gives the set a true floating look on the wall. My TV weighs 84 pounds and the mount doesn't even groan or squeak when it is being moved.<br /><br />A rare 5 star review from me. There might be better TV mounts out there, but at this price point this is an awesome mount. I should also note this is my second Cheetah mount in the house and when I need another one I will be buying this brand.</p>
